So Craig and I are headed to the Caribbean for a cruise in just under six weeks. We’re both beyond excited because the last tropical vacation we took was when we went to Hawaii the spring I was pregnant with Ava. (she’s now over 2) In other words, we could really use a little break.
We’ve been getting our fannies in gear, working out and I, of course, have already started to plan what I’m packing… but mostly, I’ve been browsing through dozens and dozens of one-piece bathing suits, looking for one that not only flatters my body, but that also feels like me. I feel like I’ve gotten really lucky in the bathing suit department lately. Now that one pieces have come back in style, there are so many gorgeously glam options that not only make a statement, they’re also flattering, and modest. There were so many years where that wasn’t the case and since I avoid bikinis for personal and religious reasons, there weren’t a lot of options available in general, and especially for someone like me, who has the tiniest chest, possibly on the planet. A few of my favorite places to find great glam one pieces are Nordstrom, J Crew, and Anthropologie. And here are my 8 current favorites. I’m planning on adding at least 2, possibly 3 of these to my suitcase before we leave. Eeek!
Are you traveling somewhere warm anytime soon?

I was in Disneyland last weekend. It was in the 70s, a jump from the 30s and 40s here in Utah. Swimming in the pool was a wonderful treat. We also watched the sunset at Coronado beach area and waded in the waves. So nice.
adorable swim suits! Love number 5

How about ones I could actually afford? Those prices are so high.
Giiiiirl! I wish….
But you have yourself a grand time and enjoy every moment. I assume by saying “Craig and I” you mean, the kids are not coming? Well if that’s the case, more power to you! I see so many parents and couples neglecting time together and just never ever leaving their children home. Granted, there should be time for family stuff but being a lone is so important.
By the way, You will look GREAT in any given suitcase – you are so tiny! This bathing suit is super gorgeous and I wish I had somewhere warm to go so I have an excuse to buy one ;)
Did I just write a whole blog post in a comment? lol

***in any given swimsuit. I hope you will not try to stuff yourself into a suit. Although, you may fit :-)
Oh, that suit is darling! So ’50’s glam! I bought a LaBlanca one piece last summer for our trip overseas and I love it. There is something so fun and flirty about a retro strapless one piece!
I absolutely adore this suit! What a cute beach outfit for vacation!

I just bought this same suit. It is gorgeous. Fits very tight through the body, but sadly does not fit in the bust area: too big:( I am on the fence about keeping it! I’m sure it will look fabulous on you though.
